This was an interesting question posed on NBC's Today this morning - would you take a million dollars, or would you rather instantly get Jennifer Aniston's figure. Obviously, this question about body image was posed to only women, but we all know that men are self-conscious about their bodies as well. So the question is, would you take what you consider to be the perfect body (guys, you can have Connor Trinneer if you want him), or a million bucks? Discuss.

For the record, those that Today polled responded 78% money, 22% Jennifer Aniston.

I'm not sure I'd really want either... can I, like, trade the perfect figure in for store credit, or something?

earth much? Have you practis'd so long to learn to read?

Meh a perfect body won't get you any further than the cash in the long run. And I concur with the above statement that she isn't perfect by a long shot. As a great Starfleet engineer once said, "Every woman has her charms, you just have to find 'em" But if I must choose I can use the cash please, Thanks.

So the combination is 1-2-3-4-5. That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!- Dark Helmet; "Live free or die.

Huh. I'd take the body Don't get me wrong, money's great and all, but I get along just fine without it.

Take the money. The girls appreciate the body enough as it is. If they really want me to I'll use some of the million to pay for full body hair removal, but other then that I like my appearence.

When I get the girl I want, I'll use half of the million to put a solid downpayment on a house, another 50 to 150 thousand to buy a nice car, then take her on a tour through Europe, down to Australia, or whereever the hell else she wants to go. Then the rest would likely go to college funds for the (hopefully) upcoming kids.
